I have a deposit on the mythical GT4 but am considering a CR as a placeholder until it is announced.

critical spec being manual and buckets

pls email me if considering selling thanks.

lol should have kept your 1st one.

Give the next one some wider front track, some real neg camber with some nice tyres this time :-)

I needed to scratch the RS itch and I am glad I did but I always had a soft spot for the CR. -2 degrees all round for me is perfect.

What sort of price bracket are you expecting for the GT4 and did the OPC give any indication of timescales for the annoucement?

My Cayman R can always be available for the right price biggrin

I expect it to lower in price than the Gt3 but other than that, my only other requirement is that it be available in manual and come with the clubsport package.

there is a nice green and a nice white for sale atm with the main nice bits.

GT4 is going to be 90k in a nice spec imo.

I'm toying with idea myself, but as you say, would need to be manual and CS.

It needs to be a 3.8 NA car with 6 pots and have 380bhp.

Other wise just spend 10k on the R and get 360 Bhp and a good few mods on it.

For me to part with 50k on top on the R it is going to have to be every thing.

Turbo or still a 3.4 and I will stick with my R

When gen 2 997gt3 are 80k 2nd hand you have to think long and hard spending more on a Cayman.

imho the gt4 will end up being a flat4 turbo!but if its a 3.8na then it could get interesting but will it look as crap as the gts cayman!the other thing is the 991gt3 at the moment is silly money but in 2 years time when more come to the market as current owners move on or/and as real track day warriors look for 997gt3/rs for the pure drive the prices of 991gt3 will fall and maybe a 2 year old 991gt3 is the same money as a new gt4 what would you buy then!
to me the 991 wins on looks alone as i just dont like the look of the 981

Veeeeery much rumor, but Autocar's Sutcliffe says later-model Caymans will see rear-wheel steering, and a turbo four.

Honestly, I've no beef with rear-wheel steering. At low speeds it'd make the Cayman seem like it has an MX-5 wheelbase.

for me,

ok with electric steering
ok with turbo 4 if it has > 400hp
not ok if no manual.


991 Gt3 different market. I'm ok slower but i need my stick shift.

value, depends. likely to above current GTS for sure. let's see how close to Gt3 it gets.
